BigCommerce bug fixing

Your BigCommerce store is broken. We fix it fast.

Stencil builds that won’t deploy, Handlebars partials throwing errors, API 429s killing your sync, a Checkout SDK that won’t take payment, dead webhooks. We diagnose the real cause and ship the fix through stencil bundle + Git — triage within 4 working hours.

  • Emergency triage in under 4 working hours
  • Sandbox-first, version-controlled, revertible
  • 14-day fix warranty on every bug
No fix, no fee on Quick Fix scoping Stores in 8+ countries
  • < 4h Emergency triage

    For a down storefront, a failing Stencil build, or a checkout that won’t complete, we open a triage thread within four working hours.

  • 100% Theme version-controlled

    Every fix lands through stencil bundle + Git, never blind edits in the WebDAV file browser. Clean rollback any time.

  • 14 day Fix warranty

    If the same bug comes back inside 14 days of sign-off, we re-fix it free. Stencil, API, and webhook fixes are covered.

  • 99%+ Webhook delivery

    We rebuild flaky integrations so 429s and dropped webhooks stop breaking your ERP, OMS, or shipping sync.

Common bugs we fix

Six BigCommerce bugs we fix every week

Real symptoms with real error strings — from Stencil and Handlebars to the API, Checkout SDK, and webhooks. If yours isn’t here, it almost certainly maps to one of these. See our emergency e-commerce bug-fixing hub for cross-platform incidents.

  • Stencil build & stencil bundle failures

    Theme won’t bundle, push, or preview. We fix dependency, parsing, and config errors so the theme deploys cleanly through Stencil CLI.

    Error: Could not activate theme · BrowserSync / webpack build failed
  • Handlebars {{> }} partial & helper errors

    A partial path that doesn’t exist, a missing custom helper, or a bad {{#each}} loop blanks a region. We trace it to the template and restore the markup.

    Error: The partial header/account could not be found
  • API rate-limit (HTTP 429) breaking integrations

    Bulk syncs hammer the REST/GraphQL API and trip the quota. We add backoff, batching, and the X-Rate-Limit headers so your ERP and PIM stay in sync.

    429 Too Many Requests · X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms
  • Checkout SDK & Optimized One-Page Checkout breakage

    A custom Checkout SDK build or an embedded checkout that throws on load, skips a step, or won’t take payment. We debug the SDK flow end to end.

    checkout-sdk: Unable to proceed · payment step not rendering
  • Webhook delivery failures & dropped events

    Order/created or product/updated webhooks stop firing, return non-200, or get deactivated by BigCommerce after repeated failures. We fix the endpoint and re-subscribe.

    Webhook deactivated after repeated non-2xx responses
  • Product / variant option rendering & Script Manager bugs

    Variant pickers showing wrong prices or images, option-set logic misfiring, or a broken Script Manager tag (GA4, pixels) that errors on the storefront. We isolate and repair both.

    Uncaught TypeError in Script Manager tag · variant SKU mismatch

On a different SaaS stack? We also run an urgent Shopify bug-fixing service, and tricky storefront JavaScript is covered by our e-commerce JavaScript bug-fixing page.

How it works

From bug report to verified fix in five steps

Report, reproduce, root-cause, fix with a regression check, deploy and verify. You see the cause and the fix in writing.

  1. 01

    Report

    You send the symptom, the failing URL or API call, and the exact error string. We confirm scope and an SLA window in the same reply.

    Within 4h
  2. 02

    Reproduce

    We reproduce on a stencil-cli preview or a sandbox store — never poking your live theme first. We capture the failing build log, console error, or webhook payload.

    Hours 0–4
  3. 03

    Root-cause

    We trace it to the real cause: a Handlebars partial path, a rate-limit pattern, a Checkout SDK call, a webhook endpoint, or a Script Manager tag — not just the surface symptom.

    Same day
  4. 04

    Fix + regression test

    Fix lands via stencil bundle + Git so it’s reviewable and revertible. We add a check so the same bug can’t silently return.

    Same / next day
  5. 05

    Deploy + verify

    We push the theme version (or API change) live, verify against your real symptom, and hand back a short write-up. 14-day warranty starts here.

FAQ

BigCommerce bug-fixing questions, answered

How much does it cost to fix a BigCommerce bug?

A single, well-defined BigCommerce bug starts at $99 (Quick Fix, ~4h @ $25/hr) with a 24–48h turnaround. A batch of bugs or one deep root cause — like a failing Stencil build or an unstable Checkout SDK flow — is the $499 Bug-Fix Sprint (~20h @ $25/hr). Down-store emergencies and ongoing cover are quoted as a retainer, with a $2,499 stabilization sprint (~100h @ $25/hr) available for deep rebuilds. You always get a fixed price before any work starts.

My Stencil theme won’t build or activate — can you fix it?

Yes. stencil bundle or stencil push failures (“Could not activate theme”, webpack/BrowserSync build errors, a broken config.json, or a missing dependency in package.json) are one of our most common BigCommerce fixes. We reproduce the build locally with Stencil CLI, read the actual build log, fix the offending template or config, and push a clean bundle. The theme deploys through Git so you can roll back any version.

A Handlebars partial or helper is breaking a page — what causes it?

Usually a {{> }} partial path that points at a template that doesn’t exist, a custom helper that isn’t registered, or a malformed {{#each}} / {{#if}} block. BigCommerce will blank the region or fail the build with something like “The partial header/account could not be found”. We trace the error to the exact template, restore the correct partial or helper, and add a check so the region renders again.

My integration keeps getting 429 Too Many Requests — how do you fix it?

A 429 means your integration is exceeding BigCommerce’s API quota for your plan. The fix is rarely “ask for a higher limit” — it’s adding exponential backoff, respecting the X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms header, batching writes, and moving heavy reads to the GraphQL Storefront API or webhooks instead of polling. We rebuild the integration so your ERP, PIM, or shipping sync stays inside the quota and stops dropping data.

My custom checkout (Checkout SDK) is broken — can you debug it?

Yes. A custom build on the BigCommerce Checkout SDK or a misconfigured Optimized One-Page Checkout can throw on load, skip the shipping or payment step, or fail to take payment. We debug the SDK flow end to end — the checkout service calls, the step rendering, and the payment provider integration — reproduce it on a sandbox, fix the failing call, and verify a real test order completes before going live.

My webhooks stopped firing or got deactivated — why?

BigCommerce deactivates a webhook after repeated non-2xx responses from your endpoint. So if order/created or product/updated stops reaching your system, the root cause is usually a slow or erroring endpoint, an SSL/timeout issue, or a payload your handler can’t parse. We check the webhook delivery history, fix the endpoint so it returns 200 fast, re-subscribe the events, and add retry handling so a single blip doesn’t kill the integration.

My product variant options show the wrong price or image — fixable?

Yes. Variant pickers showing the wrong price, image, or stock usually trace to an option-set / SKU mapping problem, a stale theme cache, or a Handlebars template reading the wrong product field. We isolate whether it’s data (option sets / SKUs) or presentation (the theme template), fix the right layer, and confirm every variant resolves to the correct price and image.

A Script Manager tag is throwing errors on my storefront — can you fix that?

Yes. A broken Script Manager entry — a GA4 tag, a marketing pixel, or a custom script — can throw an uncaught error that breaks other storefront JavaScript (including add-to-cart or the variant picker). We find which Script Manager tag is failing, fix or correctly gate it (right location, right page scope), and confirm the console is clean again.

Do you work on a sandbox or directly on my live store?

Sandbox or local Stencil preview first, every time. We reproduce the bug on a stencil-cli preview or a sandbox store and fix it there before anything touches your live storefront. Because theme changes ship via stencil bundle + Git, the live push is a reviewable, revertible theme version — not a blind edit in the file browser. API and webhook changes are tested against a sandbox store too.

Can you fix it without breaking my live store?

Yes — that’s the whole point of the staging-first, Git-backed workflow. We never edit the live theme directly. Every theme fix is a new stencil push version you can roll back with one click, and we verify the fix against your exact symptom before handing it back. If anything regresses inside 14 days, we re-fix it free.

How fast can you fix an urgent BigCommerce bug?

For an emergency — a down storefront, a failing checkout, or a Stencil build that won’t deploy — we open a triage thread within 4 working hours and prioritise it ahead of standard tickets. A single well-defined bug is typically fixed in 24–48 hours. A larger sprint depends on scope, but you get a clear SLA window in our first reply, before any work begins.

Is there a guarantee on the fix?

Yes. Every fix carries a 14-day warranty: if the same bug returns within 14 days of sign-off, we re-fix it at no charge. We also hand back a short write-up of the root cause and what changed, so you’re never left guessing what was done to your store. For broader stability, the Emergency / Retainer tier keeps us on call.

Storefront down? Build failing? Let’s fix it.
